You thought it would be easier getting from Memphis to Halifax, but high summer travel volume has resulted in full flights on the most popular routes, and so you’ve opted for the next easiest thing – a two flight itinerary aboard two different airlines with a comfortable two hour and twenty-five minute connection along the way. As might be expected, two different aircraft types will also be flown.
Now here’s the kicker – your first flight will make not one, not two, not three, but four enroute stops to the connection airport. Your second flight will make just a single stop enroute to Halifax and – as an added bonus – a snack will be served along the way! Right on!
Please provide all of the salient details intrinsic to these flights as we've required over the years.
I think the first flight may have been operated by Piedmont from Memphis up to Boston. So I'll guess PI operating a 737-200 via stops in Nashville, Charlotte, Raleigh/Durham and Newark.
And once in Boston, I'll guess the connection was made to an Air Canada DC-9-30 on to Halifax via a stop at Yarmouth.
You're off to a great start! You just need a couple of adjustments...
Your routing with Piedmont between MEM and BOS is
CORRECT! However, a different aircraft type was employed.
Air Canada with the DC-9-30 between Newark and Halifax is also
CORRECT! However, the enroute stop was not made at Yarmouth.
Tap in country, eh?
